Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
1 kg boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 cup diced red sweet pepper, (1-in. pieces)
227 g cremini mushrooms, cut into quarters (or eighths, if large)
1 tbsp chopped garlic
1/2 cup white wine
1 796-mL can whole Italian plum tomatoes, squished up
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
1 tsp chopped rosemary
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives
3 tbsp chopped Italian parsley
Instructions
Heat oil in a Dutch oven or large deep skillet over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Working in batches, cook chicken for 3 min or until lightly browned. Remove from pan and reserve.
Add onions and red peppers to pan and sauté for 2 min or until beginning to soften. Add mushrooms and garlic, and sauté 2 min longer or until mushrooms are juicy. Add wine, bring to a boil and simmer 2 min or until reduced by half. Add tomatoes, thyme, rosemary and reserved chicken, and bring just to a boil.
Cover, turn heat to low and simmer for 20 min or until chicken is tender and sauce is thick. Add olives and simmer for 5 min longer or until flavours have combined. Use a fork to pull chicken into chunks, then sprinkle with parsley and serve over egg noodles or with crusty bread for dipping.
